[PATCH v5 2/3] nvme-tcp: check page by sendpage_ok() before calling kernel_sendpage()

Currently nvme_tcp_try_send_data() doesn't use kernel_sendpage() to
send slab pages. But for pages allocated by __get_free_pages() without
__GFP_COMP, which also have refcount as 0, they are still sent by
kernel_sendpage() to remote end, this is problematic.

The new introduced helper sendpage_ok() checks both PageSlab tag and
page_count counter, and returns true if the checking page is OK to be
sent by kernel_sendpage().

This patch fixes the page checking issue of nvme_tcp_try_send_data()
with sendpage_ok(). If sendpage_ok() returns true, send this page by
kernel_sendpage(), otherwise use sock_no_sendpage to handle this page.
